The Fate or Professional Beauties.


London Pail Mall Budget: Mrs.
Langtry. before she disappeared from
English society had seen many other
ladies raised by Royal favor to the now
extinct position Of professional beau
ty.' There is hardly ono Of these
ladies whose fate is not worthy Of com.
miseration and whose confessions would
not be valuable. Their reigns termi-
mated in various ways. One offended
by observing that certain waist was
not rs thin rs formerly; another, that
i certain head Of hair was not As thick
as Of yorc; third, in a festive moment,
poured a teaspoonful Of ice-cream dowr
a royal shirt-collar; fourth falsely and
wickedly stated to her friends that q
certain bracelet was royal gift, where.
us in truth and in fact it was bought
out Of the hard earnings Of her hus-
bands brain.
The position Of refining favoritc in
volyed untold expenses, for to know
the Prince involved knowing his set.
who were numerous and thirsty. and
for whose accommodation in a house
often of the tiniest the friends Of life
time had perforce to BE- discarded. Full
some was the adultation poured upon
the beauty during her brief reign, and
cruel were the Sights and snubs put
upon her when it ended. and when
nothing remained to remind her of it
but shattered health. an alienated hus-
band. and an Infatuated father-in-law.
In such circumstances there is nothing
for lovely woman to do, but 60 and
winter on the Riviera. The future of
such fallen star is dark indeed, unless
of course, her husband can secure cleo
ton as member of Parliament, when
she can get back into society by anoth-
or door.

limbs, from the knees down, were bare.
Her elegant costume and graceful
evolutions were the envy Of the fair
sex, and she was designated 1.-THE belle
Of the ball. The old Mayor himself
wore upon his head the latest style
plug hat encircled with eagle features,
q military dress coat. four-sack pant
looms, and . pair Of rubber boots. His
whole bearing was that Of one born to
command, and he was looked upon
with reverence by all. The music.
which was furnished by the Siwashtown
orchestra, consisting Of two drums and
five rattles, was rendered in a soul
stirring manner.

versation in an undertone ensued,
ut is all right said Mr.. Harper,
turning to US and showing some signs
Of excitement; ..Plowitz has been traced
We can secure him now"
.And the lady?" said Shaw.
"The lady-no," answered Harper;
..but there is no doubt that where the
one is found the other will not be far
or"
suppressed with difficulty an indig-
nant desire to put Harper right in his
view Of the relations of the fugitives,
but there was no time just then for ex-
plantations, and we were soon threading
our way through streets Of tall houses.
Presently we emerged into . large
square. The bells If the cathedral and
of innumerable churches we're Ginning.
and looked 9th some admiration at
the picturesque novelty Of the scene,
being, like many Englishmen especially
struck with the old-world figures Of the
clergy. Two or three venerable-look-
ing priests passed US as we crossed the
square. We walked, the three Of us
together, conversing casually about the
aspect of the town, being perhaps too
anxious to talk about the business inn
mediateiy in hand. Suddenly l caught
sight Of figure in the habit Of priest
emerging from q street some yards
anead of US, and rapidly crossing the
end OF the square. An instinct brought
me to a momentary st,p; an impulse
drove me to rush straight at the vener-
able figure.
..Plowitz! William! Where is Marya"
cried as clutched al the throat Of the
ecclesiastic.
At my cry the seeming priest gave
start backwards, avoiding my grasp,
but knocking of in the violent motion
the broad-brimmed hat which had been
drawn well down over his brows.
Instinct was right. 1t was Plowitz.
There was a strange light Of fear and
resolution combined in his wicked look
ing eyes, and curious smile on his lips.

answered never . word, but dinging
out his left arm, he struck me with some
weight in the chest, and with his right
hand fred a revolver full at me. l
staggered from the blow with which he
checked my rush, and, as I staggered. l
heard the bullet whistle past my ear.
and crash Of glass Behind me showed
that it had gone through the window Of
some good citizen Of Antwerp. Ere he
could fire another shot the wretch was
seized and disarmed. The odds were
great, and he made no attempt at q
struggle, but saw hungry CLEAN Of
terror and despair in his eyes that made
amends for some Of the harm that he
had done.
He was secured, and tho crowd
which had instantaneously gathered
was in some measure dispersed.

you done with Miss Fort cscue9"
"You have found me-" he said; '.you

The Faith OF Childhood.

There Is something very beautiful In
the faith Of childhood. It was the
morning Of the last day Of the carnival,
when 7-year-old boy in q ST.. An
thony Hill family was singing around
the house in an unusually happy
spirit. What makes my boy 50
bright to-day?' inquired the mother.
20, It's, cause asked God two weeks
ago to make sister Mary well and not
to let me have the measles till the
carnival was over. This is the la IT
day OF the carnival. and l guess God
'membered what said to Him. "-St.
Paul Globe

The Tilnc Cure.

Talk Of water cures and healtl, fits,
brain food and steam baths, and all the
medicine of the apothccary! There is
nothing like the Time cure for affections
in which the body suffers through the
heart. Well for US, too, l. it that the
most unwilling patient must try it: for
though we refuse to be soused and
throw potioas out of the window, the
Time cure we mus. have tried on Us,
whether we will or no.
How we hate Time sometimes when
happy things fly away with him: but if
he depart. with our joys Re also takes
our sorrows on his bent old back. and
the sands of his hour-glass slip away
as awiftly as before. His scythe cuts
the head Of the nettle as well rs chat of
the rose. He is cruel often, but rs often
he is good TO us.
Few comprehend the wonderful elias
ticity Of the human heart. and those
whose feelings are the strongest for the
time being. often have the most elastic
temperament.
Nay; even good memory does not
not alter this. One may remember
facts without feeling the pain they once
gave. And for the comfort of some
girl who thinks her heart is breaking
because OF the treachery OF 4 good-for-
nothing beau. or because ''pa and ma. >
knowing the world better than she does.
have shut the door upon a profligate
snitor. let me say that there is nothing
in which the time cure is more valuable
than in the maladics of ordinary love
affairs. If you have been disappointed
in love, it seems to you now that you
must break your heart and die; hut
wait year or two, and nothing will be
funnicr to you, in all human probability.
than your own old love affair.
.How miserable should have been
with the mar you will say to Yourself,
clinging to the arm of YOUR welded hus-
band. And then you will tell your
spouse that "that funny, cross little
man, with the crooked nose yonder,
came very near cutting him OUT and
he will not believe you: and. going home,
you will look for the faded violets and
the miniature. and find them mixed up
with butchers bills and gas receipts,
and then you laugh again at the silly
girl you were. who now seems some
Lody else, and who thought she should
go down to the grave with a secret woe
forever gnawing at her soul.
On the other hand. Adolphus seldom
pines away because Angela refuses
him. In time he marries Jane, and
| doesn't care in the least about Angela.
Never was anything trner, though
one loves ever 50 madly. or is of ever
so romantic a nature. Therefore, t.
take cold poison. or shoot ones self in
moment of emotion, is very, very
mad indeed. The time cure is ths
thing for you; it is SLOW like tht
mills of the gods, but it is also exceed
ing fine"

ment, dur 'ng which time thieving po-
licemen and bribe-taking chiefs have
been appointed to fill these valued
places of trust. These charges are
made by the department, one mem
Der charging such practices on the
others.
In 1885, the first time for many
years, the Republicans took control oi
our city government, and they have
not appointed Chief of Police who
has put in his full term OF twelve
months in office. For instance, on
the advent of our Republican Council
their first appointment was one
Mccarthy, an opium fiend, who
only served six months and was dis
honorably discharged, and during his
term of service little could be accom-
plished by the City Council but attend
to the various charges brought time
after time against this said chief to be
investigated, and the interest OF the city
was neglected during such investiga-
ton. Mr.. Horner, a police officer,
was then substituted to fill the unex-
pired term, but Horner was bounced
and Davis was appointed, who put in
eleven months. Davis was consiG-.
cred an honest man, but he resigned
while several charges were pending
against him for dishonesty. Then his
captain, Ketlar, was called into
requisition, but the Council seemed
to think that he was the type OF his
master and he was bounced after the
expiration of his one month as Chief
of Police.
The next appointment made by our
well-thinking Republican Councilmen
was innocent J. M. Skinner, a con-
tractor, a man totally ignorant of the
duty of police officer, much more Chief
of Police. This innocent and honest
man was inaugurated, and before
eight months he was forced to resign.
The next in motion was the most
qualified of them all, our present Chief
Darcy, who is now in peril-this
making six Chiefs OF Police within
three years.
What do the citizens OF Los Angeles
think of this? What do the citizens
intend to do about this? Do they in
tend to let the Republican Council
men remain in power and appoint
such men as we now have to control
our police department? We say no.
But vote on election day for the grand
old party, who will select such men
as will care for our homes and pro-
tect our stores and banks and make
scarce the thieves that infest our city.
